Q&A

The Sig Sauer® P238 Equinox is an exceptionally concealable semi-auto pistol that operates with remarkable reliability. The P238 Equinox features a stainless steel slide with a 2-tone polished, Nitron finish, and a black hard-coat anodized alloy frame. Custom laminate wood grips feature a perfect blend of checkering and stippling to enhance both form and function. A combination of a rear SIGLITE® night sight and a TRUGLO® Tritium fiber optic front sight provide rapid sight acquisition in any light. Sig P238 pistols are modeled on a 1911-style, single action design, with a thumb safety. The hammer recesses into the beavertail section of the frame to protect it when carrying the weapon on safe, and to avoid hammer-bite while firing. The pistol operates with a locked-breech, short recoil action (instead of blowback) that locks the action closed, resulting in a slide that is easier to rack due to a reduced recoil spring weight. Slide serrations also enhance the shooter's ability to pull the slide back for loading and clearing the action. The compact P238 Equinox Semi-Auto Pistol can be carried comfortably all day—everyday, keeping it within reach for situations that call for rapid deployment of well-placed shots.

Sig ExcellenceMy wife and I purchased new P238's and took them to the range. They functioned flawlessly but that's what I expect from Sig Sauer. Absolutely no failures with any ammo we used. The triggers are crisp without creep. Even with their diminutive size they feel like a substantial firearm in your hand unlike some of the micro polymer wonder guns. Excellent for concealed carry and we have confidence they'll perform when needed. We trust our lives with Sig Sauer quality and highly recommend the P238.

Soo Happy with this purchase, LOVE this Sig!Wanted to buy a compact. Idea being for CCW, sidearm for hunting. CCW for my wife as needed.
When I compared and contrasted all the small .380's it was a total no-brainer from the moment I had the Sig in my hand.
SOO much easier to rack the slide on this thing! And those nice big chunky Night Sights! Even without my glasses I can aim this decent!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this things trigger!
Even with my XL glove-size hands I can do great groups with this small gun. I believe it is because of the crisp clean short throw of a trigger.
By now I've run about 800-900 rounds thru it. NO FAILURE of any kind!
I even made sure to try two rounds of:
Underwood Lead-Free LeHigh Xtreme Defenders
Underwood Lead-Free LeHigh Extreme Penetrators
Buffalo Bore Lead Free Heavy +P
Buffalo Bore Lead HardCast
DRT's Lead-Free Terminal Shock
to make sure it would do fine with the types of loads I'd need in it for in the forest. All cycled thru the pistol without a hitch.
Other than that I'm just at the range using whatever store-bought inexpensive FMJ's I can happen to purchase. Always getting great accuracy when I manage to do my part.
Never a failure and awesome accuracy. You can even hit targets out to 25yds if you work on your skills. From a 2.7" barrel? That's insane!
Mine has the loaded chamber indicator feature. Surprisingly I've actually come to appreciate that feature. Can help prevent accidentally leaving one in the chamber when you get back to the truck extremely exhausted from the hike-out of the forest. Not something you want to do in "Kalifornia".
Super easy to clean. I almost wince now at the thought of taking my revolvers to the range now because of how much more work they are to clean.
Also apparently there is a conversion kit available for them which can convert them over to a 5-inch barrelled .22 LR

I won't carry itRight out of the box within the first 50 rounds the slide pin bar keeps falling out in the middle of firing practice. It is held in with a cheap little spring that does not do the job. I will be contacting SIG today, but I've read some of the blogs and others are having the same issue and all SIG does is give you a new spring.
This gun is not dependable enough for carry purposes.

Awesome pistolI brought this P238 for my wife's birthday. Everytime we went to the store she would pick it up. The slide was the easiest to rack of all the other 380 pistols we looked at. Took it to the farm and shot at some cans. What a pleasure. Not one failure out of 100 rounds. It fits well in her smaller hands and recoil was low. The sights were excellent, very accurate. I carry a 9mm but I would not hesitate to carry this gun.

Sig does it again!I bought the blackwood 238 model with the fiber optic front sight. What a fantastic .380 this gun is. It is accurate, and I don't think there is another stock .380 on the market that has the quality sights on it like this gun does. I bought this gun for my wife, and she likes it a lot. Matched with the crossfire holster that Cabelas sells, this is a perfect combination. The gun and holster combination is so comfortable It is a dream to carry. I carry the p-938, but honestly I like carrying the p-238 more!
On to shooting. It is easy to become accurate with this weapon fairly quickly if one has prior experience shooting. I can group shots in a 4" cluster firing more than a round per second at 7 yards. Collectively, we have shot around 800 rounds through the gun with no failures whatsoever. I like to hold off writing reviews on guns just for this reason. If there are going to be problems with shooting various types of ammo, I think it is a disservice to write a review without a lot of range time to back up the score.
I personally wouldn't carry this gun without the pinky extension and extra round. It doesn't add that much to the footprint and it helps someone with bigger hands hold this smaller weapon. If I were to buy one of these for myself (which I might since they are on sale again), I would also put the Hogue rubber grips on it.
A+ Sig Sauer, and A+ to the Acworth Cabelas store!
Now, off to the store to buy one for myself.

Best .380Picked up a P238 with Blackwood grips and TFO optic night sights back in 2011. I've pocket carried this with the safety on since new and I've never had it turn its safety off on its own. Very accurate and soft shooter for such a small pistol. Very easy to clean and even easier to rack the slide. Sig quality in a small pistol
